In this paper, a steady free convective heat and mass transfer boundary layer flow of an electrically conducting viscous fluid from a sphere in a porous medium with thermal radiation is studied. Soret and Dufour effects, velocity slip, and thermal slip are considered at the boundary. The governing PDE is transformed into non-linear ODE using suitable similarity transformations and solved numerically using bvp4c solver of MATLAB. The effect of Schmidt number (Sc), concentration to thermal buoyancy ratio parameter (Nb), Dufour number (Du), Soret number (Sr), radiation parameter (N), permeability parameter (K), dimensionless velocity slip parameter (g), and dimensionless thermal jump parameter (j) on velocity, temperature and concentration fields, skin friction, and heat and mass transfer rates are analyzed and presented through graphs and tables.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
